It would not fire my 1/2 pins right away, must have been something blocking from the factory that eventually got spit out. Once it started firing, it sunk the pins perfectly in the 2X4 I was testing it on. I shot about 50 pins and it worked flawlessly once it got going.

This is a poorly designed piece of junk. The bar that drives the pins forward does not extend the full length of even 5/8" pins. The feed bar pushes the pins forward at the top but not the bottom of the pin. So the pins do not sit flush against the drive face and do not get pushed out by the drive bar. It will shoot 2-4 in a row and than miss 4-5 in a row.

Bought this to do some finish work (Crown Molding and Baseboards) Used glue to hold and the pin nailer to hold it in place while the glue set. As I had hoped, the "marks" from the pin can be painted over without the need for fillers or putty. Read previous reviews that stated there many be a problem with the "safety", so I made sure no one was around, and that I was careful, but found no problem what so ever. (Maybe I was lucky, or someone rethought the safety mechanism) Did not buy my pins from HF, since I read way too many bad reviews. I used "Brand Name" pins and had no problems what so ever. Great buy at a great price

I have been a cabinetmaker for 25 years or so. Never really had the need for a pin nailer but this functions great for the few projects I will use it on. What surprises me is how many guys use this for trim. I would never use this for anything that wasn't backed with glue as these wire pins pull right out with no head. Also I have had great luck with all other nailers from HFT. When I was almost ready to return a stapler a couple years ago for misfiring, I found out it was the staples as the stapler functions flawlessly with other brands of staples. So in short, I will buy the nailers here but not the fasteners.

I needed a pin nailer for about 1000 LF of small, decorative base moulding. I looked at the name brands, but was put off by the price. After using this to drive several hundred pins with no malfunctions of any sort, I can tell you this is every bit as good as those brands at a fraction of their cost. As with all nailers like this, the pins themselves are virtually invisible - unlike the 18ga brads I've used for so long. Some tips with this nailer: frequently check your magazine. As another reviewer correctly noted, there is no way to tell when you've run out of pins - you will continue to unknowingly "shoot blanks". Also, make sure you have loaded the pins correctly. They are directional, so an upside-down rack of pins may be causing the poor penetration and jamming another reviewer wrote about. The only downside of this pinner: you are limited to one-inch pins. While that's fine for the small trim I'm hanging, it's not long enough for heavier trim.

I had been lusting after a 23 gauge pinner for some time when along came a project that just screamed out for one, a corner bookcase that "is supposed to look like it was built into the house" in 1887. So, the wife allowed this purchase and I could not be happier! Two criticisms though. Like any nail gun, you don't know when you're out of nails, and the gun sounds the same if its shooting a nail or nothing...And, more importantly, if the dial is set wrong and you put in too short a slug of pins, they can get lost inside the magazine. Other wise, a really good reliable product, with no jams or difficulties over about 700 pins so far. Have recommended this already as an inexpensive alternative to name brands.

Bottom line: bought Nailer, pins, hose, compressor, and various fittings this a.m and nailing boards this afternoon. And I'm a newb to this -- I can barely spell pneumatic, let alone know how to use pneumatic tools. Nailer instructions probably could be improved, but the main safety warnings are in there (presumably for newbs like myself). Only glitch was some confusion on loading a stack of pins into the nailer: I expected to insert pins from the top (like loading a stapler), but took a few minutes to realize the pins go in a slot at the bottom of the unit. So far no jams, no blood, and no fouls. I'm happy.
